Default Houston: Any good Custom Audio Installer Shop?

I'm looking for a good place that does custom stereo installation/design. If you have any recommendation, please let me know. Thanks.

Actually I have, but I consider myself an amateur. With the time I will spend on it, I think a professional can do it less than half the time. Plus I want to have custom fabrications for subwoofers.

ANyone been to Custom Car Stereo on 59 south?
I guess I'll stop by, but would be nice if someone has had good experience somewhere else.

I wish I could help, but I did everything myself. I just trusted myself more than I trusted others. Plus it was less expensive and only took me 2 weekends (one to build my box and one to install the stuff.)

Custom Car Stereo on 59 is a good shop but expensive.

We've got a young Man in the Z Club of Houston that has done several members cars, and they are VERY happy with his work.
He's not cheap...but good work never is.
Contact him at: shatteredinside2003@yahoo.com
Tell him I sent you.
I think you'll be pleased with his work.

Don't know about how you feel about travelling to Dallas, but my friend has been in the industry for over 10 yrs, has done many show cars, including my Z. He is very familiar with the car.

Ok guys, thanks for all the comments and recommendations so far.
So i went and checked out Custom Car Stereo and this is the rundown. Keep in mind that this is mostly just for labor....

Head Unit Install
Front Components Speakers Install
Custom Fiberglass enclosure for 10" subwoofer
4 Channel amp install
4 ga Amp kit
Custom Head Unit Kit Install
+ Tax

Total: $850

What do you guys think? Personally I think it's alot just for labor, but I'm big on quality work, and if I can be assured that quality work will be done...I might just got for it.

Let me know what you guys think? Oh yeah I have a roadster, not a coupe. Would that make a difference to your friend Aaron?

Not at all. Give his a call and tell him you would like to come by and talk to him. You can see the current work he is doing on my car.

When he's finished with your install, can I see it? Maybe pictures or something. Thanks
